Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We spent Christmas in SJ with the Heap family. My mom and Sister nikki and her two kids came up and had christmas with us. we are always happy to have ppl spend christmas with us. its just not the same with only the three of us. this is the second year that nikki has spent christmas with us ;) We had the progressive dinner with all the Heaps on thursday night and all the kids dressed up for the nativity. Then santa came and we got pictures of the kids on his lap and he gave all the kids presents. Christmas eve morning we all went to AUnt Jenny's so the kids could make trains. Addison didn't make one because she just wanted to eat the candy not put it on her train Then that night we let all the kids open their Christmas Pajamas. Then Christmas morning came and Nikki told Tristen " santa came lets go see what he brought" to which tristen replied "He still came even though I was bad" hahaha So we opened present and then prepared christmas dinner we had more food than we knew what to do with. Ham, Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Rolls, Stuffing, Cheese Ball....Wow im pretty sure we all gained ten pounds. Im so thankful to be so fortunate. I think this time of year we should all remember that not everyone gets to have big feasts. We should be so greatful for what we have and the time we get to share with our families.



Addison wanted a candy cane, but couldnt get it off the tree. I guess she decided the only way was to eat it off haha!

Ben and I spent New Years in Mesa. We were down there helping my mom get moved into her new house. I had a sinus cold so we ended up going to bed at 10...I know were so lame, but we didn't want to go out with all the crazies down there, and plus i just didnt fill good. To be honest I dont feel like i missed out ;) Ben and I both set some new years goals. One that we have in common is to eat healthy and exercise. Wish us luck!
